Why is either Rogerbot or (if it is the case) Googlebots not recognizing keyword usage in my body text?

[jbster13]

I have a client that does liposuction as one of their main services, they have been ranked in the top 1-5 for their keywords "sarasota liposuction" with different variations of the words for a long time, and suddenly have dropped about 10-12 places down to #15 in the engine. I went to investigate this and actually came to the "on-page analysis" tool for SEOmoz pro, where oddly enough it says that there is no mention of the target keyword in the body content (on-page analysis tool screenshot attached). I didn't quite understand why it would not recognize the obvious keywords in the body text so I went back to the page and inspected further. The keywords have an odd featured link that links up to an internally hosted keyword glossary for definitions of terms that people might not know directly. These definitions pop up in a lightbox upon clicking the keyword (liposuction lightbox screenshots attached). I have no idea why google would not recognize these words as they have the text in between the link, yet if there is something wrong with the code syntax etc. it might possibly hender the engine from seeing the body text of the link?

any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

When you did the on page analysis, did you ask it to check for "sarasota liposuction" or just "liposuction" - I've noticed that the checker tool is very specific like that.

Hey there,

Sorry that you're getting some confusing On-Page reports.

Since this is more of a help question, rather than an SEO questions, I am going to migrate this over to ZenDesk (our help ticketing system) and answer you there. You should receive an email once the ticket has been created with a link to the ticket itself.

In the future, we recommend that you direct any questions about trouble shooting our software to help@seomoz.org so we can look into the problem for you. That's why the Help Team is here! :]

Thanks,
